LARGE VINTAGE CLEAR GLASS TABLEWARE COLLECTION - MID-20TH CENTURY

OVERVIEW:
THIS SUBSTANTIAL COLLECTION COMPRISES NUMEROUS CLEAR GLASS DRINKING GLASSES AND TABLEWARE PIECES, APPEARING TO REPRESENT A MIXED ACCUMULATION OF VINTAGE GLASSWARE SPANNING SEVERAL DECADES OF THE MID-20TH CENTURY. THE LOT INCLUDES VARIOUS GLASS FORMS AND SIZES, SUGGESTING PIECES FROM DIFFERENT SERVICES OR MANUFACTURERS ASSEMBLED OVER TIME.

SPECIFICATIONS:
- COMPOSITION: CLEAR GLASS THROUGHOUT
- ESTIMATED PIECE COUNT: APPROXIMATELY 40-50+ INDIVIDUAL GLASSES AND VESSELS VISIBLE

- MANUFACTURING: MIX OF PRESSED GLASS AND MOULDED GLASS TECHNIQUES EVIDENT

CONDITION ASSESSMENT:
THE COLLECTION SHOWS TYPICAL WEAR CONSISTENT WITH VINTAGE GLASSWARE OF THIS ERA. SURFACE SCRATCHING IS PRESENT THROUGHOUT, INDICATING REGULAR USE AND STORAGE. MULTIPLE PIECES DISPLAY MINOR RIM CHIPS, THE MOST COMMON DAMAGE POINT FOR DRINKING GLASSES. SEVERAL VESSELS EXHIBIT INTERNAL CLOUDINESS OR MINERAL DEPOSITS, LIKELY FROM HARD WATER EXPOSURE OVER DECADES. SOME PIECES SHOW LIGHT STAINING. THE PRESSED GLASS BOWLS DISPLAY THE CHARACTERISTIC RADIAL RIBBED OR FAN-LIKE PATTERNS TYPICAL OF MID-CENTURY PRODUCTION, WITH WEAR TO THE RAISED SURFACES. DESPITE THE MIXED CONDITION, THE MAJORITY OF PIECES REMAIN STRUCTURALLY SOUND AND SUITABLE FOR DISPLAY OR FUNCTIONAL USE AFTER CLEANING.

PROVENANCE:
ACCUMULATED COLLECTION FROM PRIVATE HOUSEHOLD USE. NO MAKER'S MARKS OR MANUFACTURER IDENTIFICATION CLEARLY VISIBLE IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS PROVIDED. THE VARIETY OF STYLES AND SIZES SUGGESTS THESE PIECES WERE GATHERED FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES RATHER THAN REPRESENTING A SINGLE MATCHED SERVICE.

NOTE:
THIS LOT IS OFFERED AS-IS WITHOUT INDIVIDUAL CONDITION GUARANTEES. BUYERS ARE ADVISED TO INSPECT PIECES CAREFULLY UPON RECEIPT. THOROUGH CLEANING IS RECOMMENDED BEFORE USE. SOME PIECES MAY BENEFIT FROM PROFESSIONAL GLASS RESTORATION IF SIGNIFICANT CLOUDINESS IS PRESENT.
